In collaboration with domain experts from the KIT IfSS team, the goal of this thesis is to develop a domain ontology for the MO|RE repository, which captures sports science motor skills research data, and align it with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). The resulting ontology will provide a semantic representation of sports science motor skills research data and serve as a basis for future knowledge graph applications.
Central to this topic is designing and implementing a domain ontology that accurately captures core concepts, relationships, and contextual metadata related to sports science tests, test results, and related contextual factors.
The thesis will include different steps of the ontology development process, such as expert interviews and the definition of competency questions, exploring existing ontology design patterns (ODPs), formalizing and implementing a first version of the ontology, and evaluation.
